BENNETTI: Security camera from a perfume shop on Villa Della Scula. FBI through Interpol requested a copy.

PAZZI: Why?

BENNETTI: They didn't say.


PAZZI: They didn't say?

BENNETTI: No. It was actually kind of weird. Like they were making a point of not saying.


Pazzi pauses the tape again, a close up Fell sniffing fragrance samples. Pazzi looks on with curiosity.


Streets of Florence: We see Lecter walking down the street, Pazzi watches him from a distance. Lecter steps into a cafe, Pazzi follows. Sitting at a table aways from Lecter, Pazzi watches him and notices he uses a napkin to handle his wine glass, ever diligent to not leave fingerprints anywhere. Lecter pays his check, he once more wipes the glass down with the napkin, and exits.


Pazzi's Apartment, Study: We see that Pazzi has the package with the Lecter video cassette that should have been sent to Starling.


As a search engine works, Pazzi glances down at copies of Fell's state work permit and Permesso di Soggiorno resting next to the computer.


Pazzi's young wife - who is indeed pretty - stands behind him.


ALLEGRA: Are we going to the opera?

PAZZI: Yes.

He doesn't seem to hear her as he begins reading the text under Lecter's digitally-enhanced picture. He glances up finally.


PAZZI: Sorry. Yes, we are going.

ALLEGRA: You got tickets?

PAZZI: No. But I will. In fact, I was just about to look here.


ALLEGRA: Please not the back row. I would like to see it this time.

PAZZI (smiles): No where near the back row. No matter what the cost.

Unconvinced the promise will hold, she leaves the room.


The FBI's consumer home page appears on the screen. Pazzi selects the 10 Most Wanted button, and in a moment, the list - with pictures - is displayed. The World Trade Center bombing mastermind is #1. Beneath him, nine other, lesser bombers and murderers. He scrolls down, stops. Dr. Fell - Hannibal Lecter - "Hannibal the Cannibal" - is looking right at him.


Pazzi opens his filofax to the F tab, finds a number written under no heading, a code, enters it into his computer and in a moment is taken to the FBI's private VICAP site - Violent Criminal Apprehensopn Program. He types in Lecter and scans the internal 302 reports that are displayed, many of them prepared by Special Agent Clarice Starling. He returns to the server screen. Begins a new search. Hannibal Lecter. Many of the same sites Starling found are listed, the ones posted by nuts.


He scrolls down to the Refine Search panel. Adds one word to his Hannibal Lecter query. Reward. Hits Return. Only one site includes the word in its page name. Pazzi goes to it. No graphics other than the same picture the FBI site showed. No indication of whose site it is. Dry text describes Lecter, reminds the reader he should be regarded as armed and dangerous, and encourages informants to call the provided FBI number with any information. There is also a private number listed. Oh, and one more small piece of information. The reward. $3,000,000.


Starling's Lectereum: The place is looking more and more like a museum, the bulletin and blackboards covered now with notes and newsprint photos, including some of Il Mostro's young victims. Paul Krendler makes his way through the right-angled passageway leading into the darkened room.


The only light is coming from a monitor showing Lecter's escape from Memphis, as caught by high-angle security cameras. He considers a display Starling has erected to Lecter's nine known victims. One is Mason Verger.


Another, a man attached to a tool shop peg board with metal rods piercing his body as in an illustration next to it of the medieval Wound Man.


He becomes intrigued by a sketch on a standing easel of Starling, signed by Hannibal Lecter. A sticky note has been tacked at the neck and drapes down like a sari.


Is she naked underneath it? Krendler has to find out. As he carefully lifts the note -

LECTER'S VOICE: What is your worst memory of childhood?


He jumps, startled, sees Starling sitting in a corner, in the shadows, next to the cassette deck.

KRENDLER: Jesus, Starling!


STARLING: Can I help you, Mr. Krendler?

KRENDLER: What the hell are you doing sitting there in the dark, Starling?


STARLING: Thinking about cannibalism.

Krendler works at slowing the pace of his heart, at regaining most of his unpleasant hauteur.
